2010 Annual Report

Amid signs of an economic recovery, measured progress on a number of key legislative initiatives and a hard-fought midterm election, the year 2010 was marked by accelerating policy activity across a wide spectrum of issues. Through it all, the Joint Center worked on many levels to inform debates and enhance policy discussions with its contributions of critical research and ideas. "Engagement" has always been a key, operative word at the Joint Center. From its earliest days, when its principal objectives were to equip, encourage and inspire African Americans to fully exercise their hard won rights to fully participate in the nation's civic and political life, the Joint Center has put engagement at the forefront of its agenda. On the pages of this year's Annual Report, you will find that after four decades, the Joint Center not only still believes that to be true, but as an institution it continues to practice what it has long preached.
